Christmas Morning 2013

We spend the first part of Christmas morning with just our family of 3.

After 3.5 years of marriage, I have finally gotten our stockings made. Mine has ornaments cross-stitched on it and Zach's has reindeer led by Rudolph! I am so proud of them!

Of course, the baby gets to open first. She loved her duck from Santa!

All of Zach's presents from me!

So serious!

What could it be?

It's a Nook HD + Slate!

Yay!

Nellie "got us" something! It was so funny, because I didn't tell Zach about it, so it was a surprise to him!

A new DVD player for our bedroom! Nellie, you shouldn't have! ; )

New Vera Bradley tote in Very Berry Paisley!

The present I made him save for last! A new Case knife in green stag! I was so excited to get it for him because I knew he'd love it!

We had a great Christmas morning with our little family before heading over to my parents' house!

Family room re-do featuring.... my curtains! : )

For a while now, we've planned on finally finishing our family room. That's right, it's kind of been unfinished for the entire time we've lived there. It was painted and decorated, just no molding and the ceiling was hideous because we (and by we, I mean Zach) took down the drop ceiling the previous owners had put up. So, anyway, I looked at curtains and didn't really find anything I liked, so I decided I was going to make my own. Zach and I looked at Jo-Ann's a couple times and each time we looked I liked this fabric more and more. It was the most expensive fabric I've ever bought, but in the end, it was sooooo worth it! (*Note- I bought the fabric in January before NSM! : )) Here we are at Mama Joyce's one day after church cutting the panels. I think we were all nervous to cut it. It was too costly to mess up! Fast forward a couple weeks because I didn't have time, was lazy, and also scared to sew on it, and I finally just delved in an...

What I'm Thankful For...

Hey y'all. It's just Nathana in this post. I figured since I've been alive 20 years, that equals 20 Thanksgivings, so I'm gonna have the 20 things I'm most Thankful for. Here goes nothing! : ) 1. The first thing of course I am thankful for is my salvation through Jesus Christ! Without him I have no hope to be anything! 2. My mom and dad, and the home they raised me in. I could not imagine any parents better than mine, and I'm proud to be their daughter. I'm also thankful they didn't give me away to a farm when I was difficult! 3. My brother and sister. No one else knows all of the trouble we've been in and fun we've had over the years and even though we don't always see eye to eye, I wouldn't trade them for any other siblings. 4. Zachary Scheller. God has blessed me with an even better future husband than I could have ever asked for. My love and respect for him grows each day, and I will be so thankful this June when I can ca...

5 years ago today...

Zach took me on our first date. We met at the very end of August when we started college at USI. It wasn't until September we really began to hang out, and then we began to talk about going on a date. He worked at Gander Mtn. that had just opened up in Evansville. I had been wanting to go shopping there and couldn't find the store. Once Zach mentioned that he might be able to take me if I wanted, I definitely stopped trying to find the store on my own. ; ) The week we went, he worked every day of the week, except for one. He told me he would take me on his one day off. We drove to Gander first and we shopped around. I tried on snow hats and Zach bought me a Gander cap. Then we were driving back toward USI and Zach asked me if I had ever driven stick shift before. He pulled into Roberts' Stadium parking lot and told me he was going to teach me. I remember thinking, "This boy must be crazy if he is letting me drive hi...
